Some questions buyers should consider.

This is a good choice if you don't need a surge protector. However, there are a few issues buyers should be aware of: 1) Given the size of many of today's power adapters, the average user may find that they cannot use more than four outlets at a time, as was the case with me. So for most buyers, it might just be a quad-socket adapter that doubles the existing capacity of a traditional outlet instead of tripling it. See the photo I've included for an example of real utility. 2) Due to the proximity of the sockets to each other, it is actually possible to plug the plug into separate sockets, with the negative and positive plug inputs being in the wrong holes in two different sockets. I have mistakenly inserted plugs this way on many occasions. I'm not sure what sort of hazard would be associated with plugging in a plug this way, but I can't imagine it being safe and I have no plans to test it. This seems to be a very strange and potentially serious design flaw. See the second photo I've included for an example. 3) The product was decent enough for me so I decided to order more but the second set I ordered was an odd color. I've included a third photo to demonstrate the color comparison. You can see that while the first had a white base color, the second two had a bluish-green tint that made them look very out of place where I wanted to use them.
